Sick kid. Can’t take em to gym crèche or daycare when they’re sick so depends on how long I can get someone to look after themWhy??
Smart move brotherSkipping lower body session today
This flu has reached its peak now and don’t want it to drag on any longer. Have trained the last few days on it but gonna have an extra rest now.
Hit training again on Monday
Have you been taking more supplements with vitamin C D and increasing bone broth soup? that will be crucial for recovery. @BlueboneOk so haven posted in a bit because got decently sick. Flu ended up turning into a gnarly chest infection.
The first I started to getting sick I trained through 3 days straight. It felt pretty mild so didn’t want to miss sessions over it. But third day I was feeling run down, thought about not going, but popped some cold and flu tablets anyway and hit the gym for a decent session. Anyway next day the sickness blew up, felt like shit and got real chesty. Went to docs a few days later when it wasn’t improving, they said chest infection so put me on antibiotics. Only just got back to gym for light sesh on Friday (didn’t record sets weights etc).
I used to have a policy that I’d stop training if I felt at all sick, just so it minimised the risk of sickness blowing out. But since I’ve been on the gear I’ve trained through. So time to go back to that policy, feel like a pussy doing it, but you end up losing more gym time if the sickness gets worse and drags out.
Welcome back to the EVO family @Bluebone happy to see you up and running again.First proper workout back since sick and antibiotic course.

Eased into this session. Can feel work capacity is down due to either sickness recovery or antibiotic aftermath. Either way taking some of @Core Pharma thymosin beta 1 and that seems to be helping recover from feeling like crap
